First, let me wish everyone a "Happy New Year".
Secondly, we have qualified for "War Veteran Status" for 2015, by
having 90% or more of our membership serve during a wartime. This allows any
donations to USSVI to be "Tax Deductible".We must requalify for this
status every year, and our current status runs from January 1st to December
31st.
If you were in the Military (even the Reserves) during the following time frames :Dec 7, 1941
to Dec 31, 1946, June 27 1950 to Jan 31, 1955, Aug 5, 1964 to may 7, 1975 and
from Aug 2, 1990 to present, you qualify as a War Veteran.
To insure that you are listed as a "War
Veteran", go to ussvi.org and click on the "My Profile" button.
Next, click on Up-date PROFILE Next, click on "Naval Career", and
halfway down the page, check the box under "Served During a War". You
MUST then go to the bottom of the page and click on " Save changes made to
this page in order for the change to be registered. While you are in your
profile, please check any other parts of your profile that need changing.(Be
sure to go to the bottom of each page and save those changes.
Thanks, and Happy New Year again
